Joe Jonas Has A Track Record Of Disrespecting The Women In His Life
If you jump on any social media outlet, you will quickly see the news that is top of the celebrity gossip news. Joe Jonas and Sophie Tucker are splitting, and the world is shocked as the seemingly happy couple welcomed several children into their lives and have only been married for a few years. What is more shocking is the smear campaign that Joe began running with the publicity team that painted Sophie as an absent mother and him as the perfect father. But why are we surprised by how Joe is reacting? Our society loves to paint a narrative around the working mother who should apparently only be devoted to her and her children alone. However, the behavior is entirely on brand for the famous singer. After all, Joe has a track record of disrespecting the women he dated. He broke up with Taylor Swift over a voice message. Imagine experiencing one of your first loves, assuming everything is going great, and then you check your phone message and realize you are being dumped. That happened to Taylor when Joe ended things with her with a 27-second voicemail, which she revealed on the Ellen Showon the Ellen Show over a decade ago. I’m sure that we can all agree that breakups typically deserve an in-person conversation, and that doesn’t mean over the phone is cowardly, to say the very least. Years later, Taylor admitted that her call-out of Joe had been a bit much, but he never publicly apologized and painted a narrative that he had been the hurt party and was grateful when she apologized. This is coming from the man who… Candidly shared the story of how he lost his virginity without any regard for his ex’s feelings.People magazine ran the following story saying that Joe had a funny story about the first time he was intimate with his long-term girlfriend at the time, Ashley Greene. “I didn’t have any condoms,” Joe explained. “So I went to our drummer Jack’s room — who was my roommate at the time — and I demolished his room looking for them. [I] found them underneath his underwear drawer. When he came home, he thought somebody broke into his room because his whole room was demolished.” Reading this doesn’t come across as funny. If I were in a long-term relationship with someone and they told the story of us losing our virginity to the world in such detail, I would respond with the same message that Ashley did. which was to state on her Instagram page that "class is timeless."
